CONS

If you don’t pace yourself you can get overloaded with information. However, it does get easier and if you take a break now and then you will be fine.

It’s easy to get distracted in Live Chat and checking out other members blog posts, rather than working on your website

It requires hard work and dedication, but that is a true of building any business – therefore, if you’re wanting to make money overnight, that’s not going to happen!

There is a ranking system that people can get easily spend too much time on. They’re improving this feature right now.

Please take note: unfortunately, the following countries can not take advantage of the free membership Those countries are: Bangladesh, Eygpt, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Vietnam.

I really like your WA review! I have been in the WA community for some months now, and I endorse what you have said!
The training is spectacular, and the people is very friendly and always collaborative!
Going premium is a no-brainer at all!!!
I wish you the best in your journey!

Thank you very much – all the best in your journey also! The training at WA is just second to none, I’ve enjoyed it so much and the vast amount of training available is awesome. Many thanks for your comment!

Great review for wealthy affiliate, I am a member since 2 months and i can agree with you especially in the pros and the cons you mentioned, sometimes i waste a lot of time chatting with great people in the community and postponed my business for some hours!, The most thing i like about wealthy affiliate is the support and that i can catch kyle easily on the live chat or by sending him a private message. Thanks for sharing this honest review!

Fantastic to hear that, I wish you all the best in your journey at WA! Agreed about the chatting, it can be very distracting! Good to talk to people, but time is limited so need to be working more than chatting lol 🙂

There are always platforms out there looking to scam online newbies but Iâ€™m glad I have found an authentic platform which seeks to help out stranded online marketers â€“ Wealthy Affiliate. The amount of help & tools available on this program is amazing & whatâ€™s more, it is FREE-TO-TRY before you even commit your hard-earned money to it. With such an awesome community, Iâ€™m looking to stay for a long long time.

Great to hear from a fellow WA member and yes, certainly it’s good to find somewhere authentic, with a great sense of community. The fact it’s free to try is a great bonus, I think I was a member for less than 7 days before I went premium, now I’m a yearly member and haven’t looked back. I’m sure I will be a member for many years. All the best!

Hey Nat,
Such a comprehensive review of WA you have here Nat, I couldn’t agree with you more that its the best platform for starting a business online.

Reading your review makes me fall in love with the program again and it makes me feel like working harder on writing more content and making my site more visible. If anyone is serious in becoming an Online Entrepreneur, WA is definitely the place to go!

Thank you very much Riaz, I’m really pleased about that. WA is a great place – the more I learn and research other programs, the more clearly WA also stands out as the best program available. Thanks for your comments!

I first came across this bunch about a year back but at the time they only had paid memberships – so what I gather from this they are actually free now?
I’m really tempted by the fact someone can show me how to build a website – was this website built on their platform and how long did it take you to build it?

starter membership is totally free – you can upgrade to premium at any time for lots of additional features but you can complete the initial 10 part training course with your free membership. The website is built on site, with siterubix and can be created in a matter of minutes… Check my post how How To Create A Free Website Online Today!. Thanks for your comment

Hi there Ryan, thank you for your comments! I appreciate that. I’m so pleased that you are enjoying the training – I remember being so excited when I started — and then a bit overwhelmed! I understand the parental aspect too, as a mother of two boys, spending time with them is very important and working from home just fits into that! All the best to you, Nat

ok what i want to know is how exactly do we make GOOD money online. i almost got sucker punch with Tai lopez and his friend sam ovens who are both frauds. i always do hours of research before anything, sometimes weeks/months. will WA really help me, i can work hours and really hard. im struggling atm with my warehouse business so i want to travel the world and make money.

Hi! Unfortunately, most programs out there targeting newbies are either total scams or not in depth enough to really help someone online. WA is not a scam, it’s not a get rich quick scheme – it does take a lot of work and as far as making good money, it completely depends person to person. So many won’t stick it out for all sorts of reasons. The ones that do, are the ones that succeed long term. It’s a step by step training and besides that, even if you don’t stick with affiliate marketing, it does open you up to other possibilities – so many people have gone into other things online because of what they learnt at WA. It’s a legitimate training platform to learn exactly what you need to know to start generating an income from affiliate marketing without any black hat methods or short cuts… if you sign up to the starter membership, you get a full 7 days to see what premium would offer you, as well as the 10 part starter course – which is completely free. You will absolutely know within the 7 days, (if you start going through the course) whether premium is for you or not. So, you may as well check it out and see how you go. You can contact me directly at any time — and as I stated during the review, you also get a discount for the first month, so it really gives you a big opportunity to see what WA is all about. Like I said, if it’s for you – you will know it. I wish you all the best!!

I was very thankful to found your website here… I have been wanting to start my online marketing business since early this year. It seems you are truly honest and sincere in trying to help people wanting to start their online business. I would like to inquire about what I did since I registered to the WA free account to try it on. But I receive a message in its site with this remark, “Free Starter accounts are not available in your country, but we would love to have you as a Premium Member!” I hope you can help on this since I really want to try WA to learn about earning passive income online.

Thank you for your kind comments, I really appreciate that.
Unfortunately, Wealthy Affiliate free membership is not available in a certain number of countries, (you’ve encouraged me to include this in my review also!). These countries are the following: Bangladesh, Eygpt, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Vietnam. There is some discussion about this on the WA platform and it would appear that the free membership isn’t available due to SPAM issues in the past. As such, anyone from these countries needs to sign up to premium – it is a great shame, but is just the situation at the moment. As I go over in my review, for anyone really serious about starting an online business, they would need to be premium at some point – but understandably it’s not as easy to commit to something that you haven’t even seen before! What I can say is, that if you signed up for a premium membership, you can cancel at any time and aren’t locked into a monthly membership, but can leave any month you choose. Alternatively, a yearly membership is a far cheaper option and they have a massive discount coming up in the next couple of months for a yearly membership also, (which I will email any subscribers about). In the meantime, if you do want to try out premium you can sign up here. Naturally, all the other benefits of WA still apply. I’m sorry you’ve had this experience and thank you for notifying me, so I can include this in my review! Let me know if you need anything and all the best, Nat

I’ve been searching for that spelling error of “Blog” and I can’t find it anywhere ughhh… lol, I will keep looking! I really appreciate you letting me know that too, thank you. It’s unfortunate finding typos, editing your own stuff is not ideal really!

I totally agree with the other comments and your review of WA is very detailed. A few months back, I was looking at various options online in terms of finding an in-depth course with a large community alongside it to help me start my online business. WA was the best I came across and I have found it so informative and helpful.

Hi Nat,
What a very in depth review of Wealthy Affiliate, and I really cannot agree with you more as to how it is the best program out there to learn from. The community is fantastic and even though it is hard work (as most legitimate businesses are) it rewards you in the long run. So thrilled I have found this and so excited with adding to my website everyday! Great article
Cheers, Sharon

Great review of a great platform. I myself am a member of wealthy affiliate and totally support what you are saying about this magnificent program.

At one time I used to wonder what affiliate marketing was all about. With WA I learned about affiliates and so much more They don’t just stop at teaching affiliate stuff, but go on to teach how to start your own personal blog.

Hi there! Yes, I had no idea what affiliate marketing was for a long time, even though I was online making money in other ways, I had no idea what it meant! Now I spend time explaining it to other people in the real world, but most people don’t really get it. :/ Thanks for your comment!

Great review on Wealthy Affiliates. I have been to several websites and didn’t get the information I found here. I have been looking for a place to learn how to make money online for a while now. After reading your review I finally have a place to start.

Hi thank you for the great write up about Wealthy Affiliate, it was very informative and answered a lot of questions – seems like what Wealthy Affiliate offers is a decent price…so worth giving it a go? It’s also good that they have a free membership, then at least you can check everything out and see how it goes. One question – how long do you think it takes to make your first sale?

Well, that’s a really tricky question to answer mike. On my first website, it took around three months. With this current website, it took six months. It can really depend on a huge variety of factors. However, if you’re writing 3 or more quality posts per week and doing the correct keyword research, I think 3 months is common. You might also want to check out this post.

Hi there – I’ve seen people become successful within WA when English isn’t their first language and at first their writing wasn’t great/spelling etc… but the more important thing is just being able to write in a conversational tone and connect with your audience. Also, when you start writing several times a week, or every day in the case of some people, then you just improve over time. Everyone has to start somewhere! I have also seen people decide they’d rather outsource the writing and while that costs more, you can get some fairly decent writers for a low sum at somewhere like Upwork. I would say, just give it a go and see what you think. The beginner course is free and the first month premium is only $8… which is more than worth your time for seeing if it’s a good fit. Let me know if you have any other questions! 🙂

Well, that’s great – will be good to see you over there. I’d say being part of a community is probably one of the things can keep people going when it comes to blogging/niche websites and so on. It can be a lonely game and there can be so much to learn from other people, it’s great to have people to connect with when you’re struggling!

I joined WA a very long time ago, but only the “free” version. My interest faded after a few days. It seemed just an excuse to persuade me to spend repeatedly. I thought the idea was to earn while I learned, not keep spending money. The experience was identical with a similar “Insta——-” site. Spend more and the riches will become easy . . . ! Bah, humbug!

Hi again David… WA has been changing quite a lot recently, with updated training and so on. The free membership is an opportunity to see what it’s about, before coming a premium member. There aren’t many programs that let you see everything on offer for free first and everything within there is transparent, no upsells and so on. Personally, I do find it valuable to be part of a community where you can talk to people about what you’re doing – but I understand your frustration. I was reluctant myself to spend any money whatsoever on training, but I am pleased I did in the end. I think having support can make a big difference. Training is a good investment when it’s decent quality and not just fluff. Thanks for stopping by!!

Great Inforamtion and review on what is truly a fantastic training platform for learning affiliate marketing.

Not only an you build a website in seconds but you can learn how to do affiliate marketing to the best of your ability. All the tools and training resource are in Website Affiliate to get the most out of your online marketing goals.

Hi thereI really enjoyed reading this review of Wealthy Affiliate. I would say that this is the best online training platforms online right now.You have given a thorough an account of what’s available in this online opportunity and the beauty about this if there is something that is not covered in the training courses, there is always the community here at WA to help us out.We are all one big family except in name and the camaraderie and the support that’s freely available is fantastic.Well done on this terrific review and I am confident that you will be very successfulCheers and best wishesPB

This looks like very legitimate way how to earn extra penny. Especially for people like me as I am not very experienced in marketing.
I like a support and community benefits what you are mentioning as this is something what I usually miss when I sign for an online course what I am interested in.

Yes the community is a big bonus for many, it’s good to be able to ask questions when everything can be so new and confusing at first! Also, many people are in the same boat and have the same motivations. Most people really still don’t understand how people make money online in the real world, so it’s good to be able to talk to other people that understand it.

Hey Nat , I successfully create my Amazon affiliate account . But the problem is that , I am from India . And , I create my account in Amazon US , Canada . So , I have problem in my tax information section. They are giving one form . And says, after filling this form , mail to our US address . Is it necessary ?

Hi there, specific tax requirements differ from country to country. For example; in the uk, I had to provide some tax info, but just online and that is enough to avoid getting taxed 30% by the US, as UK has a deal with that and we’re responsible for paying our own tax. I’m not sure of the deal in India – I would contact Amazon associates direct. I’ve personally found their support team incredibly helpful, many times!

Hi Nat, I really enjoy your reviews. How do I join from Nigeria? I really want to make money online but when I tried to create an account it said my country is not supported. Does this mean that I can’t join ever? How sad.

Hey chic – I’m pleased you enjoy my reviews, thank you! It is unfortunate that Wealthy Affiliate does not allow certain countries at present. That is unlikely to be forever, but it is for the for the moment. In the meantime, you may want to check out fimp – it is internet marketing training created by a wealthy affiliate member and there is lots of good stuff there, which is free. I haven’t reviewed it yet on this site, but it is worth checking out. All the best, Nat

For the last several months I’ve been doing tons of research about making money on line. I’m currently in the process of trying to find my niche, and I’ve been leaning toward doing something similar to what you are doing – teaching people about all the scammers out there, especially on Youtube. I already have a website set up, but I haven’t started putting content on it yet because, like I said, I’m still trying to find my a voice and a direction. Do you think the free starter package would work for me? I am definitely still in the “noob” category, but I don’t need hosting or any of that, but I would, obviously, very much like to earn as I learn!

You can certainly take advantage of the free 10 part training at WA – even if you don’t want the hosting or the free websites.
If you have done tonnes of research already, then you may not learn anything new from the initial training there, (the free training). But, by all means, check it out anyway. As an additional thing, I strongly recommend you check out the free internet marketing project … I’m not an affiliate for the program or anything, but it was created by a fellow WA member and he has really gone all-out to create something incredibly valuable… and it’s free. I wish you all the best going forward Joe!
